Meet Iggles

Meet my foster puppy, Iggles, aka Argo!!

I found this sweet baby boy abandoned at the corner of Bull Street and 54th, sitting sadly under a lamppost. One round of gentle pets later, he climbed right into my car and into my heart (and into Renegade Paws Rescue).

I've been fostering him for almost a month now, and in that time, he has become my little shadow. Everything I do has turned into a two-person task-whether I'm grabbing a glass of water, heading to the laundry room, or walking to the other side of the yard, he's always right there with me. He reminds me of Donkey from Shrek lol- loyal, attached, and always by my side.

I think he has also formed a "trauma bond" with me -as he sees me as his safe person, the one who rescued him from the streets. Even when Argo is content, happily playing with a toy on the couch, the moment I leave the room, I can see a flicker of fear in his eyes, like he's bracing himself for abandonment all over again. And then, before I know it, my little shadow is by my side. Breaks my heart. He's such a loving, affectionate boy. When the time comes for him to find his forever home, I have no doubt he'll form a deep, lasting bond with his new family too. He deserves nothing less.

Argo gets along wonderfully with other dogs and cats and has been around small children. However, due to his energy and teething phase, I believe he would do best in a home with older kids.

Great in the crate (has only peed twice in it but that was at the beginning) and sleeps through the whole night, no accidents! Sometimes he'll whine for the first few minutes, but other than that, not a peep! We are still working on potty training. It's interesting because he is 99.9% crate trained but will occasionally pee randomly in the house.

He loves tennis balls, sticks, toys, helping in the garden, the water hose, and going for walks. He especially loves to carry an "emotional support stick" during his walks.
